Using interRAI Assessment for Research: Developing a National Research Agenda in Aotearoa New Zealand

interRAI provides a suite of standardized, validated instruments used to assess health
and psychosocial well-being, and to inform person-centered care planning. Data obtained
from these standardized tools can also be used at a population level for research
and to inform policy, and interRAI is currently used in more than 40 countries globally.
We present a brief overview of the use of interRAI internationally within research
and policy settings, and then introduce how interRAI is used within the universal
public health system in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ), including considerations relating
to Māori, the Indigenous people of NZ.

A Tale of 2 Assessments: Concordance Across the Minimum Data Set and Preadmission Screening and Resident Review Assessments in Recording Mental Health Diagnoses

There is growing acknowledgement that the proportion of adults with serious mental illness (SMI) in nursing homes (NHs) is increasing. SMI refers to a group of mental health conditions that result in serious functional impairment or limit participation in 1 or more major life activities.1-3 At present, there are 2 federally mandated tools that capture this information: the preadmission screening and resident review
program (PASRR) and minimum data set (MDS). PASRR is a 2-step assessment completed prior to NH admission with the intent of preventing inappropriate institutionalization, whereas the MDS is a comprehensive clinical assessment of functional capacity and
medical needs measured at admission, discharge, and periodically throughout one’s stay.
